Kelly, Fletch

 

To keep on top of things, Ann asks Kelly to do the photoshoot with Fletch, which Kelly is of course reluctant. The players, particularly Billy, Luis and Didier turn up for their cancelled day-off's training nursing hangovers. Kelly meets Victoria in reception, and is surprised to learn who she is, considering they handle Didier's PR and he wasn't known to have a wife. Wes performs well in training, and is ecstatic when Ray informs him he is playing against Luton in the reserves today.

 

Victoria learns Kelly is also involved with a footballer, and Kelly mistakenly thinks Victoria is the one who was claiming Didier was the father of her child. Ray tells Scott he won't be playing him until he takes his therapy sessions seriously and goes back to Lisa. When Luis tells Ray he won't get match practice if he is sitting on the bench, Ray offers him the Luton reserve game this afternoon if he wants it. From Kelly's reaction to Fletch, Victoria susses there is something going on between them.

 

Luis goes to Lynda, insulted that Ray wants him to play with “children and old men” in the reserves and demands she talk to him. Didier appears to have accepted his ex-lover’s child is his for he tells Victoria he never sees the boy. Victoria tells Didier she missed him and while in detox had a lot of time to think about the bad things she'd done to him. Before long Victoria has taken her top off and she and Didier are making out. Ray tells Lynda she has a responsibility as owner to do what's right by Luis's career.

 

Kelly wants the signed pictures Fletch has done, but he tells her she is going to have to come with him to The Grange to collect them. Ann turns up at the house to find out why Didier missed the interview, and catches him and Victoria half naked. At his suite, Kelly tells Fletch she is not interested in rekindling things with him, but Fletch says it would be a terrible shame if Wes was to find out what happened in Mallorca. Kelly realises she is going to have to sleep with Fletch for it to remain a secret.

 

On the coach back from Luton, Wes phones the office to tell Kelly he scored twice, but she is with Fletch. Victoria puts it to Didier if they got a divorce they could go back to how it was before things soured. But Victoria also doesn't want to miss out on a cash settlement! Lynda tells Luis she has to trust Ray's judgement on his well-being. Kelly leaves Fletch's room and bumps into Wes, who is so excited to be back on form, telling her it feels like one of the best days of his life. Wes notices Kelly has put her top on inside out, and a guilty Kelly has to claim she must have been wearing it like that all day!
